the Pennsylvania K*i way authorities, when the billrench'-d thoni -.,r ettle-mont, declined to take anv money.In hlltion to this 1-8,01.0 already paid andtu th Urg-.-surns About 11.30 on Tuesday morning tho lady of a house on Alexander street while engaged la her household duties heard strange footsteps coming un tho stair.», and a tnomuut liter was considerably alarmed to sco a powerful looking man enter the room in which sho wu*.Tho There i man wa-s slightly tho worse for liquor, and seemingly bound to make himselt conifortablo .ensconced himself snugly on n sofa In thn room and prepared himself for a good nap.The* lady, howover.did not lose her presence of j mind ns mnuy in the same circumstances would have done and endeavored to awaken in hls mind the fact that ho was in thn wrong box.Bis only rvsponso to tiff* was a volley of cursns of mnm-y which tho commute»ha* agree l stiall | and bad language, and ho expressed his Inten bo paid to tho aUt-nding physician-, there re mains outstanding of claims unadjusted probably .»«*ine$N,0t)O.whic.n are much more legitimate thnn a number of tho Bums included in the .th.OUO already paid.'»o far as can bo learned, the item* which tho American people would mo»t hi arlilv approve, and will Insist must be paid, remain still unadjusted, while tho bills which ought never to have been incurred, and the contracting of whiy conscience of Mr.itradlaugh in the matter immensely discredited the otherwise unanswerable case for relief which a man of more unbending conscience in bis position would have been able to present.It weald l*o fur betu-r, in the Interests of the abolition of nil indirect theological tests, to return a Liberal to the House of Com mons pledged to got rid of those tusts, but not hurtlonud with thu uioro or less discrediting con-sequences of Mr.Bra'!laugh's uniortuuato laxities of conviction.Then, with regard to the Liberal party, no one cun doubt that thu notion of its supposed personal responsibility for Mr.Dradlaugh's claims has keen very damaging, and unjustly damaging, to it.Not only is Mr.firodlaugh\u2019B personal unbelief quite as little shared by the Liberal party as It Is by the Tory party» but oven as regards his personal representation of the undoubted right of a duly-elected agnostic to sit in Parliament, Liberals in general bave felt no sympathy for the sometimes shifty and sometimes violent manner in which that right has been enforced.Few Liberals approved of Mr.Bradlangh\u2019s willingness to repeat an unmeaning oath.No Liberals, we think wo may say, justified bis attempt last year to force himself violently into the House of Commons.No Liberals thought him justified in taking the oath against its orders on Tuesday, by a bit of something like harlequinade, or in insisting upon taking his scat in defiance of the Housoon Wednesday.In a word, thu Liberal party which is wholly united os to tho duty of aboi ishing tho trumped-up theological tost, have felt a very keen satisfaction at Mr.Hradlaugh\u2019s mode of fighting tho question, though many of them have felt, ns wo feel, that there was a good deal of extenuation for his conduct\u2014being of the typo and calibre he is\u2014in tho unfair con duct of tne House of t 'oramons.Lastly, Northampton has certainly some responsibility to bear for those other only too notorious oplnious of Mr.Hradlaugh\u2019s, which every fair person has tried to exclude from consideration in relation to the controversy abont the oath, because they have no logical relation to that controversy, hot which certainly cannot but bo considered by any constituency, as justly affecting the political calibre and moral weight of tho candidate who avows thorn.And for this rea son, again, wo believe that Northampton would do itself more credit by dissociating its fight for the abolition of theological tests from tho Esrsonal candidature of Mr.Hrallaugh, Mr.radlaugh is an ill-used man, but an ill-used man who has not done justice to his own position.\u2014 London ÿptetafor.BRITISH PLUMBERS.The British workman\u2014to do him jnstico\u2014excels in putting the largest amount of indifferent labor into the lightest job.Bat the working {ilnmber has carried bis craft to a stage at which t actually becomes a fine art He arrives grimy, no matter how early is tho hour, and seems to t&ko a professional pride in leaving a distinct impression of his hand on Mio drawingroom wall and on tho doors of every room he visits.Then it seems impossible for him to bring all his tools at once, or to go to \u201ctho shop\" for thoso bo bos left behind and come bock again with them under an hour.Meanwhile, his partner (who holds the candle) Is flirting with the cook\u2014a pastime which coats tho householder Hfi, an hour and a spoiled breakfast.By the time the brazier is fit It is time t go to dinner, and thorn is always a chance that, as tho plumber must for some inexplicable reason leave his ernto of blaring charcoal In tho most critical position, the firemen will bo on the sceno before he leisurely returns from his midday meal.York Minster and Canterbury Cathedral were both set in dames by tho plumber ; scores of houses oro every year burned down by bis carelessness, and it Is quite open to discussion that, were tho secret history of the great tiro known.It would bn found that it was begun l y a plumber playing his traditional pranks with a basin of burning coals.He seems quite incapable of not spilling solder, while it appears to be \u2022 rule of too trade to smoko tho colling, knock down a square foot of plaster, and end by burning a bolo in tho Brussels carpet when no comes to stop a leak in the gas pipes.It is needless to say that before bo leaves, a house, in which the head himself is not permitted to smoke, is impregnated with tho fumes of tho rankest tobacco, and tho patient Individual who bus submitted to tho visitation may consider himself treated with unwonted lonioncy if for a month afterward ho Is not forced to have in carpenters mending the wood work tho plumber has tom up, plasterers repairing tho walls ho has broken, and upholsterers renovating tbo soiled carpet.* and smoked papers or putting a fresh surface on tho buhl table which ho lias used ns a temporary ladder.Finally, after exhausting every means of prolonging \u201c ttio job,-\u2019 tho plumber sends in\u2014with a promptitude which leaves nothing to bo desired\u2014the bill for his invaluable services.Thon, and only thon, does ho rise to his proper cubits, for In compiling this interesting document ho coasos to bo nn artisan, and at onco claims his duo place as an artist.\u2014Low/on Mandant.PRESS OPINIONS.BUrr-KANNUATlON.If any one can advance a plea in justification of paying men good .salaries\u2014inciting them to five well and in \u201cstyle,\u201dand then providing, in a large measure from the public purse, for those rainy days which are sure to come, wboro Improvident habits have been contracted\u2014we are prepared to consider It.But of late no person has ventured on the diflieult task.Indeed, It is the height of folly and Injustice for the Government to take under Its wing one class of workers In the community and provido for tholr old ago and Infirmity at the expense of all the others.The civil servants, wo fancy, will not desire to be classed with paupers, yet this system places them pretty much on tho same platform on non-producli g feeders at tho public crib.\u2014J/awitUn Timts.Till BOUNTY TO nSHERMKN'.There la an intenso dissatisfaction in the Maritime I'rovlnco with the $150,000 bounty which the Government oak Parliament to allow to the fishermen.It !\u2022 condemned on many and Inconsistent grounde, but the condemnation is all but universal and Is decidedly emphatic, some journals going tho length of pronouncing It \u201c Immoral and unjust \u201d * * Following are only e few of the grounds upon which the $150,000 gift Is objected to; that It is a transparent attempt to make political capital In the seaboard Provinces in preparation 1er the general election which la impending ; that it is a mere shuffling off of the reasonable demanda of the fisherman for an equitable division of the whole proceeds of the fishery award ; that Ma relief grant it is entirely inadequate\u2014Indeed, so small that it is inconceivable that it can be seriously offered as a donation aufiielenttomaxegood, In any perceptible dogne, the losses which our fishermen have sustained both by unfavorable s«osoiu and the operation of the bargain with the United fitates.» \u2022 - It isnot a mere party grumble, but a general complaint, and one in which voices rarely beard in conjunction combine.\u2014 Herald.\tn TICK MKTIIODIST ITINERANT SYSTEM.The Methodist Church, both in Canada and the United .States, is on tbo verge of a rebellion against the itinerant evstern for the ministry, it is often tho case that clergymen ot great merit cud peculiar adaptability to a given field, are compelled to remove to some place where the conditions ore such as to render them practically useless.Both clergy and laity are begin-nlug to understand that all men are not suited to all fields of work, and to appreciate the advantages of a system that shall permit the ner-manent location of a minister in a church to which he

KSDAY, MARCH 23, 1882.Remark is made on the fact that a fire at tho Royal Albert Docks broke out in a diiTerent quarter to that which had been indicated in an anonymous warning : but that is just what might have been expected, for the quarter indicated was likely too closely watched for tho purposes of the incendiaries.The Government of New Brunswick lias been sustained iu tho Assembly by a vote of twenty-three to seventeen in resisting a resolution, as one of want of confidence, which advised that the vacancies in tho Legislative Couueil should not be tilled, at least until constitutional means for the abolition of that chamber should be exhausted.There are Symptoms to indicate that the Intercolonial Railway\u2019s list of employees require» purging.A day or two Ago two railway men on their way from work at Moncton got into an altercaMonand one was stabbed by the other in a dangerous manner.Some time ago two trains came into collision near Halifax, causing tho death of & fireman.At the inquest the train dc-spatohcr and his operator at Truro swore positively that an or 1er had been sent to the station master at Wind*or Junction to detain th> train that by poing on caused the accident.An intermediate operator who heard the message pass through his office corroborated thetrain despatcher's evidence.Tho Vation master swore positively that it was & train of another number which he had received t ie order to detain.Tho station master was given the benefit of tho doubt produced by his own testimony, the jury believing that at most a mistake had been made either in sending or receiving the order.The friends of the killed man were not satisfied, however, and, at the instance of one of his brothers, the station master was arrested upon a charge of manslaughter.The preliminary examination was delayed from «lay to day, on account o?the jaiiway Department failing to produce books and documents required in evidence.At length appeared in Court Mr.Tuppor, son of the Minister of Railways, who had been retained by tho Dcpnrtnicnt to watch the case, who assured the magistrate that the accused Station master had Imhui proved entirely blameless, through tho discovery that tho train despatcher\u2019s books boro evidence of having been tampered with by altering u figure so as to correspond with that official's testimony at tho inquest.The result of this intimation was tho immediate and honorable acquittal of tho licensed.Tuo sequel to this might well bo supposed to bo llio giving of tho train despatches and possibly tho two witnesses swearing in corroboration of his evidence, an opportunity of clearing themselves of I the charge of perjury implied iu tho assor-lion of the Department's counsel, that tho despatch as originally entered in tho order book did not agree with their sworn testimony.More than a week has passed, however, and there is no word as yet of any action being taken in tho matter, while the travelling public seemingly have their lives and limbs in tho care of persons whoso oaths oven cannot be trusted.The Corporation of London is a great body, and its sheriffs are exceedingly groat men.From time immemorial the two sheriff»have been accustomed to give dinners in the House of Commons dining-room, when they personally presented petitions at Westminster, but some member, jealous of parliamentary privileges, sought to stop this time-worn custom.Now there is a special committee of the Hous,e iu whose han'ls are matters concerning the creature comforts of the House.To this Kitchen Committee the question was solemnly referred, with the result that the sheriffs are not in the declining years of their office to be turned away from the privileges of the House of Commons dining-room.Happy sheriffs ' '\u2022 Sherbrooke \u201d accuses us of mis-statement in the Bradlaughquestion, but tho misstatements are in his own letter.First, then, w*» drew no distinction between the political and religious aspect of the question, nor do we understand how it can cease to be either a political or a religious question.Secondly, we did not say that the sincerity of the party should not be challenged.We only said it never was challenged in the case of persons notoriously indifferent to the oath and who go through without balking.Thirdly, we did not, as is implied all through this letter, either say or imply that Mr.Rradlaugh ought to be allowed to take the oath, but we did say that it was probable that the time would come when the oath would not be enforced on any who objected to it, and gave at a reason for this that to many of those who tako it, it is an empty and therefore im-iifrible form.CARELESS POST OFFICE OFFICIALS.The dead letter undertakers soom to have :v dearth of legitimate epistolary corpses, from tho avidity with which they anatomize perfectly healthy subjects sent to them by burking postal clerks who act as their procurers.A short time ago a letter was mailed in a Montreal street letter box, addressed to tho Sandwich Islands and bearing eight cents in postage stamps upon the envelope, according to tho rates given in the official Postal Guide, and also in the postal bulletin issued by the Montreal Post Office for March, 1NS2.The sender was a few day- Inter astonished to receive his letter l in a very demoralized condition, tho envelope ripped open and covered all over with oflicial memoranda intended to convey the intimation that tho missive had boon arrested in its westward flight for evading tho full amouut of postage.An enclosure from tho Dead Letter Office at Ottawa gave the same intimation in a more formal and explicit manner,politely asking that additional stamps to the value of seven cents be affixed to the envelope, which already boro the appearance of a miniature theatrical bill board.Bewildered with all this official contradiction, ho sought the kiudly aid of the Post Office Inspector, wheu closer examination disclosed tho fact that tho letter had been deflected from its intended route at Windsor, and the still more important fact that, not only was it not underpaid, but it was overpaid three cents, tho latest postal decree having been that King Kalak.iim's dominions had been admitted to the Postal Union.The question arises, if post officials at headquarters are not posted in postage rates, have they per-miasion to cut open a letter on mere guess without taking the trouble to consult the record ?While on this subject, there is another postal grievance of a similar nature worthy of attention.Wc have sometimes occasion to corardiment the employees of our city delivery department on their acuteness Ln finding tho proper destination of badly addressed letters, but the cases are not few in which they fail to earn that admiration which is everywhere accorded to the English post office authorities for intelligence and zeal in delivering letters aright.For instance, a letter to a lady whose name has few duplicates iu tho directory addressed by mistake to .Sherbrooke instead of Drummond street was returned to tho writer in England for correct addre-s and comes back with a page or two of strong expressions of astonishment at the stupidity of a post office department that could not deliver a letter better than that.SPECULATING CLERKS.\u201c It bat been calculated,\" aavs tne Ifonttar/ Timtt, \u201cthat food

expenditure against an un*-lastlc income is a troublesome thing to mind and pocket.' There can bo no doubt for tho truth of this and the outcome of it in this city has been an attempt to meet it partly an 1 lessen the coi-t of living by the co-operative system.There can be no question of tho popularity of this to purchasers whatever il may be in the long run to tho stockholders.Groceries and other things probably are bought ut lower pricos and thcro is likely also some saving not inconsiderable in tho necessity to pay cash for everything,so that only tho absolutely necessary things are purchased.A running account is a danger-ou» thing.Much is ordered then that might be dispensed with and not thought of till tho big account at the end of tho month or quarter stares tho houiekoeper in tho face.There w something anomalous, however, in tho fact that tho same parties who patronize tho co-oper«tive idea to make things cheap call for a custom houso on tho sea and land border to add to tho price and make things dear.Wiia'ever be the cause living is dearer and tho large number, who, with unelastic salaries, have to meet the increased expense, find it iudeod very troublesome.Koine of our large» institutions, mercantile, monetary, 6;have been very properly warni-ig their officers to beware of being led into Mpouulations beyond their m' -ins in the hope of adding to these menu*.Tho warning would have a quadruple force to all if, in addition to tho warning,thoy woro to assist in losiemug tho temptation to speculations by additions to salaries and bonuses.Wisely aud liberally granted, with a kind admonition, those would at the prosent timo be a real boon to many.A PRACTICAL JOKE.In last week's series of tho ever charming Echoes of tho Week, which that entertaining writer,George Augustus Hula,contributes to the Illustrated Loiul a Unes, an account is given of a personal visit with a number of other writers and worthies to tho tuunol which the .South Eastern Railway Company has already commen.'ed boring under the channel.It appears from the account that beneath the bottom of tho channel was the last place in tho world that (loorgo Augustus Sala ever expected to drink long life to Her Majosty tho t^ueon.Ho certainly thinks he did it there and wrote a lively account of tho adventure.Is this all a mistake f Can it bo that when Mr.Sala imagined that ho was drinking tho health of tho Queen, of tho \u201c Mistress of the Seas,\u201d beneath her greatest domain, that all tho time the chalky cliffs of Dover were above his head f Oh tho pity of it, if it ho true, that ho was tho victim of a very practical joko played by Sir Edward Watkins, whoso enemies or rivals state that tho tunnel does uot extend under tho channel at all, but merely burrows under tho shore! It is hardly credible that a man of Sir Edward Watkins' stamp should bo guilty of deception, and of a deception which could not long be kept up.This is probably only ono of the wiles of those who opposo tho scheme.Mr.Kala has done tho tunnel scheme some service by raking up some of tho old genuine objections which were made to tho building of railways, and tho incredulity and ignorance of ovou great writers, judging from their vehicles of publication.Mr.Sala continues : So wo sped bock to town by an express train : and I went home, and read in an old number o' the Quarterly Review a fine old crusted article on a projected railway.Hear tho Q.If.\u201cAs to those persons who speculate on making railways generally throughout tho kingdom.and superseding all the canals, all the waggons, mills, and stage-coaches, post-chaises, and.In short, every other mode of conveyance by land and by water, we deem them and their vlaiouary schemes unworthy of notice.\t.The gross exaggeration of the powers of the locomotive steam-engine (or, to speak la plain English, the steam carriagei may de'ude for a time; but must end In the mortification of all concerned.\" The proposed railway was one to connect London with Woolwich; and the promoters of the scheme had the hardihood to assert that the trains would attain a speed of twelve mile* an hour.Whereat wrote the Indignant Quarterly : \u201c With all these assurances we saould as soon expect the people of Woolwich to suffer themselves to he fired off upon one of Congreve\u2019s ricochet rockets as to trust themselves to the mercy of such a machine, going at such a rate.-\u2019 Wordsworth, we all know, penned a beauteous sonnet against railways, beginning\u2014 It there no nook of Englitli ground secure From rath assault ?Medical men of authority declared that the tunnels would be peculiarly dangerous in producing colds, catarrhs and consumptions ; and that \u201c tho deafening paal.the fearful gloom, the clanking chains, the dismal glare or the locomotive,\" and a thousand other horrors, were so alarming that such Inventions ongkt to be utterly repudiated.But the sweetest deliverance against steam locomotion waa made in Parliament bv the beloved Colonel Sibthorpe.That gallant M.P.assured the House of Commons that \u201crailways were dangerous and delusive speculations.\" and that \u201csuch schemes were unsatisfactory, and, above all, unknown to the Constitution of this country.\" And finally, that \u201c ho hated tho very name of a railway\u2014he hated it.as he hated the devil.\u2019\u2019 The Channel Tunnel scheme will have to go through a vast amount of opposition of this kind.NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.t$peciat to the H'llum.) Ottawa.March 2 1.ministerial caccus.Yesterday was private members\u2019 day, but was a pretty lively ono in several respects.There was a intni-derial caucus In the morning, which, though secret.Is understood to have discussed the question of the re distribution of seats and the much talked of dissolution of Parliament among other things.In regard to the former, current talk is that fewer changes will be proposed than was at one timo supposed, it being thought that too sweeping changes might create a reaction in regard 4o dissolution It Is understood that members were admonished to keep their powder dry and be ready for emergencies, but were told that no decision bad yet been arrived at.It is tolerably >-ertain that the decision will be communicated to members be fore prorogation.In tho House Mr.Itlake did not mova Ids North-West land resolutions.In which un animated discussion was expoctod.Tftere was quite a brisk rencontre between Mr.Anglin and Sir Charles Tup|*or In regard to tbs ourcboMof a large number of second-hand coal hoppers for tho Intercolonial Kail wuv.Sir < Ihsrlsa claimed that the coat was very light, indeed only about half of first cost, and that a saving wo.» effected by the purchase.The vexed qu»s-lion of what abould and should uot Ixt charged to cardtal account also came in, Sir Charles contending that new purchases should be charged to capital account and repairs to ordinary account.Mr.Anglin held that the purchase of second-hand cars was prima fa00.It was then resolved that all expenditures must first bo sanctioned by the Executive Committee, and tho accounts subsequently certified by tho chairman of each special committee.The committee then adjourned to the llrdof April at half-past sovou o\u2019clock p.m.COMMERCIAL NOTES.The stock of T.Laurin Si Fils., wholesale boot and shoo makers, was yesterday morning sold at auction at G.'>o in tho dollar cosh\u2014about half of It was manufactured and the rest iu process.The price was considered very low ns tho goods had been entered in the inventory considerably below cost of manufacture, but
